Class ForwardProxyContext

      org.gcube.common.core.utils.proxies.ForwardProxyContext

public class ForwardProxyContext
extends GCUBEProxyContext<ForwardProxyContext.ReturnProxy>

A specialisation of GCUBEProxyContext for proxies which forward proxied calls to other proxies determined dynamically on the basis of the annotations on the methods of the proxied object. In particular, a forwarding proxy will forward calls based on the resolution of primary annotations through a GCUBEProxyFactory. In addition, a forwarding proxy will react to its own primary annotation ForwardProxyContext.ReturnProxy, by proxying the return value of a proxied method invocation with another forwarding proxy. Essentially, this allows annotation-based proxying to propagate deep within class hierarchies.
